You godless liberals love to seek out a rare exception and try to apply it to a whole group. Considering what public schools are doing to children now I would not hold them up as an example of anything good.

There are bad private schools and bad public schools, bad private teachers and bad public teachers. You do the need investigation and move forward. Overall, private schools are probably a lot better then public schools whose main reason and purpose for existence is to get teachers as much money as possible for as little work as possible. What is your point?

I am a product of a private school. However, I do believe it is the right of anyone to send their children to any place they choose, but I believe the government should not be paying any part of the bill for a private school. Most of these voucher programs are helping the rich to send their kids to private schools, as the middle class won't spend money on their part of tuition.

Where do you come up with these stupid opinions?

Ignorant is your middle name. In fact, DOJ investigated several of these programs and found a vast majority of the users were minority families.

And what is public schools doing to children now? What Conservatives in government don't tell you is that when it comes to vouchers ALL schools, public and private, have choice too. Here in Texas, they make it sound like you get your voucher, plus 10K a year, and you are off to any where you want. Now adays 10K a year won't get you much more than what you see here--and let me say that it's the teachers, not the building that matter--though if they aren't going to invest in the building they probably won't invest in quality teachers. And one more point to make--if the school will accept your child then in addition an tuition shortfalls you have to pay for books, meals, t***sportation, and uniforms. Even if King Donald is reelected do you think your salaries will increase fast enough to cover all the shortfalls you will face?

Really do not care what you do, none of my business, but a school like this would not be my choice.

I’ll have to ask my math teaching daughter in a public school if that’s the only reason she is a teacher. Are you close to anyone in the public school system or are you just talking out of your(?)

I don't believe he said the job of the teacher was to procure more money. I believe he meant the teacher's union.

It would seem to me that they should have checked to see if that school was approved and be accepted but colleges

You need to search for "who benefits from school voucher programs". Read the Political article there.

I don’t think she’s a huge fan of the union
